Well that is good to hear at any rate (that you are OK not that you hit the gravel etc). Keep us updated.

Could be worse:

The top 10 flattest states, per their results (and ranked according to their total flat, flatter, and flattest designations):
  • Florida.
  • Illinois.
  • North Dakota.
  • Louisiana.
  • Minnesota.
  • Delaware.
  • Kansas.
  • Texas.

I'm holding onto mine for 5+ years at this stage.

Watching the value of Caymans, Exiges and 4Cs to see how far they drop in the next few years to decide if it's worth changing.

Exige values have flatlined and are on the upswing. They haven't really depreciated much at all in general. The cheapest one on cars.com is $48k from a starting MSRP of $56k.

I think Caymans can already be found for FR-S prices or less. Exige is a tough one, because I don't think they're bringing any more in for street use.

I would hope the 4C values drop rapidly, because that car is sexy. I think they're making it over here in very limited numbers, which could prop them up for a while unless the whole world decides that they're ugly.
